UIC Men's Basketball Game Notes in PDF Format

Cleveland, Ohio- The UIC men's basketball team will wrap up a three-game road stretch through Ohio with a Horizon League contest at Cleveland State this Saturday night.

The Flames (8-6, 2-1 Horizon League) and the Vikings (9-5, 2-0 Horizon League) will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. Eastern/6:30 p.m. Central at Goodman Arena inside the Wolstein Center.

UIC will seek to snap a two-game skid. The Flames will hope to do so in a place where they've had success of late, having won five straight over the Vikings in Cleveland.

The Flames have actually won eight games in a row at Cleveland State's Wolstein Center, with victories in three 2002 Horizon League Tournament games there that sent UIC to a conference crown and NCAA Tournament bid that year.

Josh Mayo continues to pace UIC offensively, scoring 18.4 points per game while putting up 26.0 ppg in games against Horizon League foes so far this season.

Karl White Jr. has provided scoring punch in his last two outings, averaging 20.5 points in his last pair of starts.

UIC continues to shoot well from downtown, hitting from beyond the arc as a team at a Horizon League-leading clip of 44.2 percent (117-for-265).
